I'm running gutted cats and it is a good bit louder, especially on high idle when the car is cold.

I got decat downpipe onto standard system, no real noise change inside the car. Abit louder on acceleration. Meant to sound real nice but not had chance to let someone else drive it passed me yet lol.

EML came on as said about 100miles. Will be getting mapped out later this week.

Idle is louder in startup but the same when warm. It's a bit louder driving & much deeper. Also there's more popping etc

The benefits with decat original exhaust are good? it approves?

I already thought build an custom exhaust in a exhaust house, inox 3" decat only with final resonator or 3" only with middle ressonator, what do you think about it?

Ask your tuner. I didn't pay any extra, just went back.
